GAS-BURNER.

Be it known that I, LOUIS C. HILLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State ofConnecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners;and I do hereby declare the following when taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings and the nume als ofreference marked thereon, to bea full, clear, and exact description of the same, and `which saiddrawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in

Figure 1 a side view'offa burner constructed in accordance with myinventioii.

This invention relates to an improvement in gas burners, andparticularlyto burners having a Ipilot light from whichthe gas may beignited when turned on.

The object of this invention isto provide convenient means for turningthe gas off' and on by a single chain; and the invention consists in theconstruction hereinafter described and particularly recited in theclaims.

1n carrying out my invention l have shown a body 2 having a gas passage3 to a burner a having the usual tip 5, and extending upward from -thebody is a pilot G having the usual opening 7. lransversely through thebody is a. ta )ered opening 8 in which a plug S) is closely fitted, theplug having a port 10 in line with the gas opening 3, and a pilot port11 in line with the pilot opening 7. 'lhe openings 10 and 11, however,are at dill'erent angles for the purpose as will hereinafter appear, andextending from the gas opening 3 to a point in Aline with the pilotopening 7 is a channel 12. The plug 5) is held in place in the usualmanner by a screw 121, and this plug has a disk 14 having a series ofnotches 15. Mounted on the outer end of the plug is a sleeve 1G having aflange 17 which is formed with a series of inward projections or lingers18 t-o engage with the notches 15. The flange is also formed with acup-shaped recess v1S) which is connected by-a channel 2() with aperforation 21. Mounted on the sleeve is a spiral spring 22 one end ofwhich isixed Specification of Letters Patent.

to the disk and the other end to the body. Secured to the outer end ofthe plug is a cap plate 23 having a collar 24 which partially inclosesthe spring, the collar being divided to clear the end 25 of the springwhich extends downward into ,engagement with Athe. body. Secured to thedisk is a chain 26. This chain is of ball type one end being adapted tobe passed through the perforation 21 and into the cup-shaped recess 1.)and so as to be held therein, the chain extending from the disk over thecollar ,24 and downward to any convenient point. Attached to the body isa tlat sprin 27 which 70 ,engages with teeth 28 in the et ge of the`disk 14.

Around the plug S in line with the pilot opening 11 is an annular groove29. If the plug S is vturned vtoshut ott the tlow of gas to. p theburner, gas .may tlow through the passage 12, and escaping around thegroove 29: will supply the pilot (l with sutlicient gas to maintain asmall flame. A pull upon the chain 26 `will give the plug a quarter'turn80 bringing the port 10 into line with the supply of gas so as to permitit to pass to the burner. The openings tl11ougl1""the plug, however, areso arranged that just before the port l() comes in line with the passage3 85 the pilot opening 11 will come in line with the passage 12 and theopening 7 to the pilot so as to furnish a free discharge 0f gas throughthe pilot, which will cause the flame to .shoot up and ignite the gas asit escapes from the burner ltip Upon releasing the chain 2G. the springwill react to return the tlange 17 to its former position, this liangcbeing free to ride over the disk'14 in one direction and to engage withit when turned in the opposite direction, the spring 22 holding the.iiange. in engagement with the disk. k

To extinguish the light, the chain is givenY another pull which willgive the plug a quarter turn so as to turn the port 10 out of line withthe passage. 3, and thus cut of the Supply ot' gas. which supply,however, is continued ,to the pilot. The plug, therefore, is alwaysturned in the same direction, the one pull of the.' chain opening to theburner, and the nextpull closing it. Thus gas may be turned ou and ott'by a single chain.

1. A gas burner including a body; burner 11 tip and pilot, a. plugmounted in said body for rotation therein and formed with a port adaptedto be turned in line with the gas opening and a port in l1ne with saidpilot,

-a disk secured to said plug and formed with notches, a flange mountedon said plug and formed wlth progections to engage With the notches inthe disk, a spring connected with the flange and with the body andadapted to turn the flange, and a chain coupled With the flange by whichit may be turned.

2. In a gas burner, the combination with a body, burner tip and pilot,passage through the body to the burner and to the pilot, a plug mountedin said body and formed with independent ports opening to the burner andto the pilot, said ports being out of line with each other', said plugformed with an annu lar groove in line with the pilot port, and meansfor turning the plug.

3. In a burner, the combination with a body and burner, passage throughthe body to the burner, a plug mounted in said body and formed with. aport adapted to be turned into line with said passage, a disk carried bysaid plug and formed with a series of notches, a flange mounted on saidplug and formed with a series of projections adapted to engage with saidnotches, a cup-shaped recess in said disk, a ,perforation adjacenttliicreto, and a passage connecting theisame,

a ball chain one end of which is adapted to be entered through saidperforation andl passed into said cup-shaped recess, a spring arrangedto return said disk to its normal position against the action of saidchain.

4. Aburner comprising a body, burner and pilot, a plug adapted to cutoff the supply of gas through -said body and provided with independentports for the burner and pilot, a disk mounted on said plug, aspring-finger secured to the body and preventing the rotation of thedisk in one direction, a flange mounted on said body and adapted toengage with said disk whereby the disk may be rotated in one direction,a chain connected with the flange and adapted to turn the same in onedirection, a spring connected with the ange and with the body andadapted to t-urn the flange in the opposite direction, a plate securedto said plug and formed with a Collar partially inclosing the saidspring.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
